According to Kit White, "Simulacrum refers to a likeness or simulation that has the appearance but not the substance of the thing it resembles...The disconnect between what we know as image and what we experience, materially or actually, constitutes a large part of what must be the description of the world we know." Paintings are often a representation of some actual object or place. Through the artwork we experience indirectly the object or place. Art can make the world smaller, by bringing the world to the gallery wall. Yet we can not disregard experience, for in seeing the actual object or place we develop a deeper awareness of the world around us. So I hope that you can experience life and allow artwork to bring you closer to those things that are just out of reach. Enjoy!
